Subject: Re: [bitcoin-dev] BIP149 timeout-- why so far in the future?

A more important consideration than segwit's timeout is when code can be
released, which will no doubt be several months after SegWit's current
timeout.

Greg's proposed 6 months seems much more reasonable to me, assuming its
still many months after the formal release of code implementing it.
